The Senior TT race was red flagged by organisers on lap two after an incident at Glencrutchey Road and after Hutchinson didn’t make it through the Bungalow checkpoint it was clear the Tyco BMW rider had been involved.

Hutchinson has been taken to hospital with leg injuries, suspected to be a fractured femur, but was conscious on his way to hospital.

Thompson has confirmed the race will be restarted over a four-lap distance at 17:15.
